T0 a'ZZ y/10m it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALLACE C. SABINE, of Boston, in the county of- Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, .'a' citizen of the United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pour-Outs for Bottles, ot' which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, recrei'ace being had to the accompanying drawings7 forming a part of this specification, in explaining its nature.

My invention relates to that type of pourouts for bottles provided with an air inlet passage and a pour-out or outlet passage, and which is especially adapted for bottles containing ink.

Among the objects of my invention 'is to provide a pour-out which'will give an easy continuous stream, free from pulsation at all inclinations of the bottle irrespective of the amount of ink in the bottle.

It is a further object of my invention to provide a pour-out with a means of closure which will .effectively control the passages therethrough irrespective of the relative positions thereof; to provide a means of closure also which will form a ypermanent part 0f the pour-out and whichfwhen open will not interfere with the objects first above referred to, and which when closedI will provide a positive seal for the bottle even though the bottle be in an inverted position as is often the case during shipment; alsoto provide a pour-out that can be economically manufactured.

My invention consists' accordingly in a pour-out having a construction in accordance with the objects of my invention above referred to together, also, with various details of construction tending to makethe pour-out as simple and effective as possible, and all of which can best be Seen and understood by reference to the drawings, in which- Figure l shows in side elevation a bottle having applied thereto a pour-out embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan looking at the pour-out from the under side thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical section otthe bottle and pour-out shown in Fig. Fig. 4 is the same asFigzS, excepting that the valve forming a part of the pour-out, as will hereinafter be explained, is occupying a different position than that shown in Fig. 3.

Referring@ the dyawngsz-l represents the pour-out, 2 the bottle. The pour-outl 1s in the nature of a cap applied to the top of the bott-le closing the same and has the following construction and adaptability of parts..

3 represents the body of the pour-out. This may be made of any suitableA material dependent upon the contents of the bottle. I prefer, however', that the same be made of hard rubber or other non-corrosivev Substance especially when the 'pour-out is used 1n connection with bottles containing ink. The body 3 of the pour-out is provided'with an annular flange-forming edge or rim 4 adapted to it over and rest upon the end of the neck ofthe bottle,'a Washer 5 being preferably interposed between the parts. It is by means of the shoulder formed by the rim or edge 4 'that the pour-out is attached to the bottle. This effect is accomplished by means of an annular 'clamp 6 which ts around the end of the neck of the bottle and is clamped to enga-ge a bead 7 thereon, the clamp thence passing` upwardly and around the` edge 4 of the'l pour-out and being crimped to engage the same thereby holding the pour-out securely applied to the bottle and providinga tight joint. I

In order that the pour-out may it centrally over the end of the bottle and to prevent also lateral displacement thereof, apart from that afforded by the clamp 6, I prefer that the body of the pour-out shall extend for a short distance into the hollow of the'- neck of the bottle. Such projection is indicated by the part 8 presenting an under bearing surface 9 which has special adaptsy ability as will hereinafter be explained.

Upon one side ofthe body of the pour-out is provided with an upward extension 10 having a pour-out passage-ll through the saine. lhe extension 10 is preferably made,

. at least in part, tubular in form and the passage ll therein extends from the under side or face 9 of the body of the pour-out verti` call)7 through the saine. In this connection,- however. it is to be observed that the passage l1 does not extend straight through the extreme top end of the extension l0. but vents on the. outer side thereof just adjacent the top end of the extension. This effect is obtained by closing the top end of the extension by a part l 'and slightly beveling the outer side of the extension adjacent the top to provide a face 13 in which the vent is sa. l

of the valve and to a point above the extendf ed portion 1T thereof. The upper portion of the valve stein is threaded, and arranged to turn thereon, above the portion 17 of the body of the pour-out, is a milled nut 23. 'lhis nut is provided with a sleeve or extension 24: likewise threaded upon the valve stein and located within a socket 25 forinedf' nally. in one direction or the other and thereby operate to either draw the valve against the under side or face of the bodyof the pour-out closing the respective openings v therein, or move the valve avvay therefrom f clearing said openings and leaving free ingress thereto from the interior of the bottle depending upon the direction that the nut is turned. After the valve has been moved to an open position it might happen that as the, bottle was inverted the valve might gravitate by the sliding of the valve stem to a closed position. To prevent this, however, the sleeve or extension Q4, located within the socket 25 as aforesaid. is provided with an annular slot :'26 in which is contained a spring ring Q7 which is adapted to bear tensionally against the interior wall of the' socket and operate by its frictional bearing to prevent the sliding of the valve stem Within its bearing, thus preventing the valve from gravitating to a closed position after it has been moved to an open position.

The operation of using the pour-out is as follows: "hen the bottle is not rin use and especially during shipment the valve is moved to a closed position simply by turn-l ing the milled nut :23 which operates to effectually seal the bottle. W'hen the bottle is to be used the milled nut is simply turned in a reverse direction opening the valve, when the contents may flow therefrom in the usual manner. After such use the nut is reversely turned thereby closing the valve and again sealing the bottle.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States '1. A pour-out for bottles, the same comprising an attachable body having therethrough an air inlet passage and a pour-out passage, saidy passages being separate and independent of one another, oppositely arranged and extending respectively through the body from the under side thereof, said lodv having also therein an opening extending therethrough from the under side thereof and lying between said passages, a

valve controlling the passages and saidi opening through the body from the under side of' the body, said `valve having a stem extending through said opening, and means` for controlling said valve through said stein. Y
